Key Points
Revenue rose 6.8% to $70.9 million (GAAP) in Q1 FY2026 compared to the prior year period, driven mainly by Ground Support Equipment sales.
Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) increased to $1.5 million.
Commercial Aircraft Engines and Parts revenue fell 16.4%.

While the company showed overall growth, the results by segment revealed uneven performance. Notable gains in Ground Support Equipment offset losses in Commercial Aircraft Engines and Parts. The company does not provide quarterly guidance and had no analyst estimates for revenue or earnings. Overall, the quarter brought modest financial improvement, but persistent risks and segment unevenness remain.

Business Overview and Focus Areas
The company operates across several aviation-related sectors. Its main lines include overnight air cargo services, manufacturing and sales of ground support equipment such as deicing trucks, trading and leasing of commercial aircraft engines and spare parts, and digital software solutions for logistics and aviation customers.
Recently, Air T has concentrated on diversifying revenue, growing digital services, and managing customer exposure, especially to FedEx. Key to its success are securing and renewing major customer contracts, keeping ground equipment sales competitive, overseeing aircraft asset management, and ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance. The company’s future stability relies on the health of its long-standing contracts.
Quarter Highlights and Segment Updates
Performance across Air T’s segments was mixed. The Ground Support Equipment segment, which makes and sells aircraft deicing trucks, reported $15.1 million in revenue. Ground Support Equipment segment revenue was $15.1 million, compared to $7.4 million in the prior year period. Management stated, "The $7.7M revenue increase YoY is primarily attributed to higher number of deicing trucks sold." Adjusted EBITDA for this segment swung to a $1.4 million profit from a $0.5 million loss. However, the order backlog dipped from $9.9 million as of Q1 FY2025 to $7.2 million as of Q1 FY2026, suggesting that sales here can also be affected by weather and industry cycles, underlining an ongoing need to monitor backlog and order trends.
The Commercial Aircraft Engines and Parts segment, which includes trading of engine assets and aircraft parts, reported lower GAAP revenue of $22.0 million, compared to $26.3 million in the prior year period. The drop was mostly due to reduced sales of engine and airframe components. Adjusted EBITDA for this segment dropped to $0.8 million from $1.7 million. Management cited that the year-over-year decrease in revenue was primarily due to lower component sales. While not reflected in the current quarter, the company completed the sale of two Airbus aircraft after the reporting period.
The Overnight Air Cargo segment remains crucial to Air T’s results. It generated $30.6 million in revenue, essentially flat year over year, but profitability fell with adjusted EBITDA at $1.6 million versus $1.9 million in the prior year period. This business relies on dry-lease contracts with FedEx for cargo flight services, representing 39% of company revenue in FY2025. No update was provided on the upcoming contract renewals, but the dependence on FedEx continues to be flagged by management as a significant risk. The company completed the acquisition of Royal Aircraft Services during the period, though the deal did not materially affect results for the quarter.
Digital Solutions, which includes software and analytics products for cargo and aviation logistics, achieved revenue growth, up to $2.1 million compared to $1.7 million in the prior year period. Management noted that digital solutions revenue increased by $1.5 million in FY2025, primarily due to increased software subscriptions. Losses narrowed, but this segment remains unprofitable with adjusted EBITDA of negative $0.1 million. Management continues to describe this segment as strategic and with “significant growth potential.”
Financial Condition and Forward View
Air T’s balance sheet has weakened over the last year. The company reported negative shareholder equity as of June 30, 2025, resulting mainly from recent net losses, repurchases of its own shares, and shifts in earnings related to interest rate swaps. Interest expense rose to $2.3 million, compared to $1.9 million in the prior year period. Assets under management for joint ventures in aircraft rose to $594 million as of June 30, 2025, up from $577 million as of March 31, 2025. Dividend income from equity investments was $1.1 million, a significant drop from $2.5 million in the prior year period.
The company did not issue any formal financial guidance for the next quarter or fiscal year. Management commented on its long-term focus but withheld any concrete forecasts or updates on material risks, including the renewal status of its FedEx contracts. Given the mixed segment performance, continued negative equity, and no new guidance, investors are likely to scrutinize upcoming results for progress in digital solutions and signs of stability in Overnight Air Cargo, especially as the FedEx contracts near expiration.
Revenue and net income presented using U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) unless otherwise noted.

Today's Featured Research Reports
NVIDIA’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Semiconductor - General industry over the past year (+38.3% vs. +34.4%). The company is benefiting from the strong growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance, accelerated computing. The growing demand for generative AI and large language models using graphic processing units (GPUs) based on NVIDIA’s Hopper and Blackwell architectures is aiding data center revenues.
The continued ramp-up of Ada RTX GPU workstations in the ProViz end market, following the normalization of channel inventory, is acting as a tailwind. Collaborations with more than 320 automakers and tier-one suppliers are likely to advance its presence in the autonomous vehicle space.
The Zacks analyst expects NVIDIA’s revenues to witness a CAGR of 29% through fiscal 2026-2028. However, a limited supply of Blackwell GPUs could hinder its ability to meet demand. Rising costs associated with the production of more complex AI systems will hurt margins.
(You can read the full research report on NVIDIA here >>>)
Shares of Amazon.com have gained +23% over the past year against the Zacks Internet - Commerce industry’s gain of +27.6%. The company’s top-line is driven by steady momentum in Prime and AWS. Strengthening AWS services portfolio and its growing adoption rate contributed well to AWS performance. Ultrafast delivery services and expanding content portfolio were beneficial.
Strengthening relationships with third-party sellers was a positive. Robust advertising business contributed well. Amazon’s expanding global presence, growing capabilities in grocery, pharmacy, healthcare and autonomous driving are key positives. Deepening focus on GenAI is a major plus.
The Zacks analyst expects 2025 net sales to increase 8.5% from 2024. However, Amazon announced mixed guidance for the second quarter. High tariffs imposed by President Trump on goods imported from China have cast uncertainty on retailers such as Amazon. AMZN's free cash flow has decreased significantly.
(You can read the full research report on Amazon.com here >>>)
Meta Platforms’ shares have outperformed the Zacks Internet - Software industry over the past year (+46.2% vs. +44.8%). The company is benefiting from steady user growth across all regions, particularly Asia Pacific. Increased engagement for its offerings like Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Facebook has been a major growth driver.
META has been leveraging AI to improve the potency of its platform offerings. These services currently reach more than 3.43 billion people daily. Meta Platforms’ growing footprint among young adults, driven by improving recommendations, boosts its competitive prowess. AI usage is making it a popular name among advertisers. This is expected to drive top-line growth.
Meta Platforms now expects to invest significantly more over the next few years in developing more advanced models and the largest AI services in the world. However, monetization of these AI services will take considerable time, which is a concern.
(You can read the full research report on Meta Platforms here >>>)
Shares of Air T have outperformed the Zacks Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo industry over the year-to-date period (+20.3% vs. -17.8%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $57.74 million has its diversified aviation model deliver margin resilience and recurring revenues despite top-line moderation.
The Commercial Aircraft arm grew adjusted EBITDA 60.7% amid fewer asset teardowns, driven by a profitable pivot to high-margin engine parts, led by Contrail. The Ground Support arm benefits from a $14.3 million backlog and USAF contracts but remains unprofitable. Overnight Air Cargo revenues grew 7.3%, aided by FedEx contract scale, though adjusted EBITDA fell on one-time costs.
Digital Solutions posted 25.7% growth via high-margin SaaS, with recurring revenue momentum. Equity investments enhance returns with low risk. Risks include elevated debt ($115.3 million), persistent net losses, concentrated FedEx exposure and weak cash flows. Despite tailwinds in MRO, cargo and leasing, valuation reflects ongoing profitability challenges.
(You can read the full research report on Air T here >>>)
Crown Crafts’ shares have underperformed the Zacks Textile - Home Furnishing industry over the past year (-35.6% vs. -11.7%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $30.54 million has seen July 2024 Baby Boom buyout added $11.9 million in sales and expanded its diaper bag and licensed goods suite, driving 28.2% bedding and diaper bag revenue growth and brand appeal.
Despite temporary margin pressure from tariffs and warehouse rent, operational streamlining and lower inventories are positioning the firm for improved leverage. Strong $9.8 million cash flow funded the buyout and dividends, though high debt and margin compression challenge financial flexibility.
Heavy reliance on Walmart/Amazon, tariff risk from China-sourcing and a $13.8 million goodwill impairment signal structural headwinds. While licensing and e-commerce strategies offer upside, sustainability of dividends and growth hinges on margin recovery, license renewals and diversification. CRWS offers deep value but depends on improved execution and cost recovery.

Today's Must Read
Featured Reports
ExxonMobil (XOM) Banks on Oil-Rich Permian & Guyana Assets
The Zacks analyst likes ExxonMobil as it is advancing key oil projects in the Permian & offshore Guyana. But ongoing tariff tensions are affecting its already oversupplied chemicals business.
AbbVie's (ABBV) Skyrizi, Rinvoq Key to Top-Line Growth
The Zacks analyst says AbbVie's (ABBV) Skyrizi and Rinvoq are performing well which should support long-term top-line growth. Key headwinds are Humira LOE and slowing sales of the aesthetics unit.
Citigroup's (C) Overhaul Plan Aids Amid Weak Asset Quality
Per the Zacks analyst, Citigroup's organizational overhaul, international consumer banking business exits, to focus on core operations will aid financials. Yet, weak asset quality is concerning.
Union Pacific (UNP) Rides on Dividends Amid Sluggish Volumes
The Zacks analyst likes the shareholder-friendly measures adopted by Union Pacific. The decline in volumes due to soft consumer markets and reduced fuel surcharge revenue is a concern.
Cardinal Health's (CAH) Diverse Products Gives Competitive Edge
Per the Zacks analyst, Cardinal Health's diversified portfolio represents long-term opportunities. Its products provide the company with a competitive edge in the niche space with fierce competition.
Season Pass Aids Vail Resorts (MTN) Amid Weak Visitation
Per the Zacks analyst, Vail Resorts benefits from a stable season pass program and offerings such as the Epic Pass, Epic Day Pass, and Epic Australia Pass. However, weak visitation is a concern
Expanding LNG & Clean Energy Assets Aid TotalEnergies (TTE)
Per the Zacks analyst TotalEnergies' presence in entire LNG value chain and expansion of clean energy generation through joint venture and acquisition will boost its performance.
New Upgrades
Subscriber Addition, Content Strength Drives Netflix (NFLX)
Per the Zacks Analyst, continuing subscriber addition coupled with expanding content portfolio are the key catalysts that will help Netflix to sustain growth going forward.
Personal & Commercial business lines Aid Progressive (PGR)
Per the Zacks analyst, Progressive is set to grow on solid Agency, Direct and Property businesses of Personal Auto and Commercial Auto segments, which will drive improvement in net premiums.
Corning (GLW) Rides on Strong Demand, Portfolio Strength
Per the Zacks analyst, solid momentum in the Optical Communications and Specialty Materials segment will likely drive Corning's top line. Strong focus on innovation is a tailwind.
New Downgrades
Expected Decline in Volume & High Debt to Ail Goodyear (GT)
Per the Zacks analyst, lower expected tire volume sales in 2025 are likely to hurt Goodyear's top-line growth. Rising debt level is also a concern.
Currency & Tax Volatility to Hurt V.F. Corp's (VFC) Earnings
Per the Zacks analysts, V.F. Corp's global footprint exposes it to currency and tax rate volatility, which could weigh on earnings. The tax rate is predicted to rise in the next couple of years.
Rising Expenses Squeeze Elevance Health's (ELV) Margins
Per the Zacks analyst, high operating expenses are likely to keep pressuring Elevance Health's margins. Also, its deteriorating benefit expense ratio suggests less premiums left after paying claims.
Zacks' Research Chief Names "Stock Most Likely to Double"
Our team of experts has just released the 5 stocks with the greatest probability of gaining +100% or more in the coming months. Of those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian highlights the one stock set to climb highest.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Costco’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry over the past year (+41.9% vs. +19.4%). The company being a consumer defensive stock, Costco has been surviving the market turmoil pretty well. The discount retailer’s key strengths are strategic investments, a customer-centric approach, merchandise initiatives, and an emphasis on membership growth. These factors have been helping it register decent sales and earnings numbers.
The Zacks analyst expects Costco to register an 11.5% adjusted earnings per share improvement in fiscal 2025 on 6.6% revenue growth. This outlook reflects Costco’s ability to navigate the challenging operating environment, generate solid sales, and register high membership renewal rates.
A favorable product mix, steady store traffic, pricing power, and strong liquidity position should help Costco keep outperforming. While trading at a premium to its peers, its long-term growth prospects should help the stock see a solid upside.
(You can read the full research report on Costco here >>>)
Shares of AT&T have outperformed the Zacks Wireless National industry over the past year (+62.9% vs. +48.9%). The company remains focused on business transformation efforts to augment operational efficiency and facilitate the optimum utilization of resources to enhance value. Solid 5G traction and fiber subscriber growth are key growth drivers.
AT&T has collaborated with Microsoft to move its 5G mobile network to the latter’s cloud. This will enable the company to enhance productivity and deliver large-scale network services to meet customers’ needs. Collaboration with Nokia to streamline network services, improve automation and accelerate deployment timelines is a positive factor.
However, intensifying competition in a highly saturated wireless market will likely impact profits. The steady decline in linear TV subscribers and legacy services is a potent headwind. Healthy discounts and freebies to woo customers dent margins.
(You can read the full research report on AT&T here >>>)
Marsh & McLennan’s shares have gained +15% over the past year against the Zacks Insurance - Brokerage industry’s gain of +34.6%. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings beat estimates. Marsh & McLennan is well-positioned for growth due to strategic acquisitions, new product launches and diversification into emerging markets. Its $7.75 billion McGriff acquisition is expected to significantly expand its middle-market reach.
MMC’s revenues have surged owing to its broad geographic presence, robust client retention and the solid performance of the Risk and Insurance Services unit. Strong cash flow supports its ongoing investments and impressive dividend increases. The company also returns capital to shareholders through share repurchases.
However, rising operating costs due to higher compensation and benefits are likely to impact margins. Its debt-laden balance sheet and lower investment income are concerns. As such, the stock warrants a cautious stance.
(You can read the full research report on Marsh & McLennan here >>>)
Shares of Air T have outperformed the Zacks Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo industry over the past year (+8.5% vs. -9.1%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $47.19 million reported a 22.2% revenue increase to $77.9 million in third-quarter fiscal 2025 from $63.8 million in the prior-year quarter, with growth across all core segments.
Overnight Air Cargo revenue rose 5.4% to $30.6 million, Ground Equipment Sales surged 40.3% to $11.8 million and Commercial Jet Engines & Parts grew 35.4% to $32.7 million. Operating income improved to $1.8 million from a $1.6 million loss, while adjusted EBITDA reached $2.7 million against a loss of $0.1 million in the year-ago period. Contrail Aviation remains a key growth driver, benefiting from aftermarket demand.
However, risks include $105.4 million in debt, rising interest costs, reliance on FedEx, liquidity pressures and cyclical aviation headwinds. A third-quarter fiscal 2025 net loss of $1.3 million raises concerns about earnings sustainability.

Today's Featured Research Reports
Costco’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Retail - Discount Stores industry over the past year (+41.9% vs. +19.4%). The company being a consumer defensive stock, Costco has been surviving the market turmoil pretty well. The discount retailer’s key strengths are strategic investments, a customer-centric approach, merchandise initiatives, and an emphasis on membership growth. These factors have been helping it register decent sales and earnings numbers.
The Zacks analyst expects Costco to register an 11.5% adjusted earnings per share improvement in fiscal 2025 on 6.6% revenue growth. This outlook reflects Costco’s ability to navigate the challenging operating environment, generate solid sales, and register high membership renewal rates.
A favorable product mix, steady store traffic, pricing power, and strong liquidity position should help Costco keep outperforming. While trading at a premium to its peers, its long-term growth prospects should help the stock see a solid upside.
(You can read the full research report on Costco here >>>)
Shares of AT&T have outperformed the Zacks Wireless National industry over the past year (+62.9% vs. +48.9%). The company remains focused on business transformation efforts to augment operational efficiency and facilitate the optimum utilization of resources to enhance value. Solid 5G traction and fiber subscriber growth are key growth drivers.
AT&T has collaborated with Microsoft to move its 5G mobile network to the latter’s cloud. This will enable the company to enhance productivity and deliver large-scale network services to meet customers’ needs. Collaboration with Nokia to streamline network services, improve automation and accelerate deployment timelines is a positive factor.
However, intensifying competition in a highly saturated wireless market will likely impact profits. The steady decline in linear TV subscribers and legacy services is a potent headwind. Healthy discounts and freebies to woo customers dent margins.
(You can read the full research report on AT&T here >>>)
Marsh & McLennan’s shares have gained +15% over the past year against the Zacks Insurance - Brokerage industry’s gain of +34.6%. The company’s fourth-quarter earnings beat estimates. Marsh & McLennan is well-positioned for growth due to strategic acquisitions, new product launches and diversification into emerging markets. Its $7.75 billion McGriff acquisition is expected to significantly expand its middle-market reach.
MMC’s revenues have surged owing to its broad geographic presence, robust client retention and the solid performance of the Risk and Insurance Services unit. Strong cash flow supports its ongoing investments and impressive dividend increases. The company also returns capital to shareholders through share repurchases.
However, rising operating costs due to higher compensation and benefits are likely to impact margins. Its debt-laden balance sheet and lower investment income are concerns. As such, the stock warrants a cautious stance.
(You can read the full research report on Marsh & McLennan here >>>)
Shares of Air T have outperformed the Zacks Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo industry over the past year (+8.5% vs. -9.1%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $47.19 million reported a 22.2% revenue increase to $77.9 million in third-quarter fiscal 2025 from $63.8 million in the prior-year quarter, with growth across all core segments.
Overnight Air Cargo revenue rose 5.4% to $30.6 million, Ground Equipment Sales surged 40.3% to $11.8 million and Commercial Jet Engines & Parts grew 35.4% to $32.7 million. Operating income improved to $1.8 million from a $1.6 million loss, while adjusted EBITDA reached $2.7 million against a loss of $0.1 million in the year-ago period. Contrail Aviation remains a key growth driver, benefiting from aftermarket demand.
However, risks include $105.4 million in debt, rising interest costs, reliance on FedEx, liquidity pressures and cyclical aviation headwinds. A third-quarter fiscal 2025 net loss of $1.3 million raises concerns about earnings sustainability.

Top Analyst Reports for Costco, AT&T and Marsh & McLennan

Thursday, September 26, 2024
The Zacks Research Daily presents the best research output of our analyst team. Today's Research Daily features new research reports on 16 major stocks, including Toyota Motor Corp. (TM), AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) and Chubb Ltd. (CB), as well as two micro-cap stocks Air T, Inc. (AIRT) and Preformed Line Products Co. (PLPC). The Zacks microcap research is unique as our research content on these small and under-the-radar companies is the only research of its type in the country.
These research reports have been hand-picked from the roughly 70 reports published by our analyst team today.
You can see all of today’s research reports here >>>
Toyota Motor’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Automotive - Foreign industry over the past year (+1.0% vs. -9.3%). The company’s robust lineup of trucks and sport utility vehicles is set to fuel sales. To capitalize on the global shift to environment-friendly vehicles, the auto giant is deepening its focus on manufacturing hybrid, electric and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles, which will bolster the company’s product competitiveness.
Toyota Motor aims to expand global sales of BEVs to 1.5 million units in 2026 and 3.5 million units a year by 2030. Toyota’s commitment to maximizing shareholders’ value via dividends and buybacks is also praiseworthy.
However, labor cost inflation is expected to continue to weigh on margins. Rising debt levels, along with high R&D expenses and capex, might pose challenges. Also, Toyota expects sales in Japan to decrease, given the lower shipments of Daihatsu. Thus, the stock warrants a cautious stance now.
(You can read the full research report on Toyota here >>>)
Shares of AstraZeneca have gained +17.6% over the year-to-date period against the Zacks Large Cap Pharmaceuticals industry’s gain of +24.6%. The company has a diverse product portfolio and a global footprint. Its key drugs like Lynparza, Tagrisso, Imfinzi, Fasenra, Ultomiris and Farxiga should keep driving revenues.
AstraZeneca’s pipeline is strong, with important late as well as mid-stage pipeline data readouts lined up. AstraZeneca has also been engaged in external acquisitions and strategic collaborations to boost its pipeline while investing in geographic areas of high growth like emerging markets. Backed by its new products and pipeline drugs,
AstraZeneca believes it can post industry-leading top-line growth in the 2025-2030 period. By 2030, it expects to generate $80 billion in total revenues. However, AstraZeneca’s diabetes franchise faces stiff competition while pricing pressure hurts sales in the respiratory unit.
(You can read the full research report on AstraZeneca here >>>)
Chubb’s shares have outperformed the Zacks Insurance - Property and Casualty industry over the past year (+39.1% vs. +28.3%). The company’s suite of compelling products as well as services, focus on capitalizing on the potential of middle-market businesses and investments in various strategic initiatives pave the way for long-term growth.
Several distribution agreements have expanded its network, boosting its market presence. An impressive inorganic growth story helps to achieve a higher long-term return on equity. Chubb expects adjusted net investment income to be in the range of $1.57 billion to $1.63 billion per quarter in 2024.
Chubb boasts a strong capital position with sufficient cash generation capabilities that ensure steady payouts to investors. Second quarter EPS beat estimates. However, exposure to catastrophe loss induces underwriting volatility. Escalating expenses weigh on margin expansion.
(You can read the full research report on Chubb here >>>)
Shares of Air T have outperformed the Zacks Transportation - Air Freight and Cargo industry over the year-to-date period (+4.9% vs. -7.7%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $47.61 million primarily serving FedEx, is a growth driver with $30.4 million in first-quarter fiscal 2025 revenues, up 9.6% year over year, aided by fleet expansion and stable demand.
Its asset-light model lowers operational risk. Despite a 7% overall revenue decline, strength in air cargo and commercial jet engines and parts and a sole-source deicer supply contract with the U.S. Air Force underpin resilience.
However, rising operating losses, inventory write-downs, high debt and a shrinking order backlog in Ground Equipment Sales signal challenges and potential pressure on future performance. Commercial Jet Engines revenues fell 12%, but margin improvements maintained profitability. Joint ventures (JVs) in aircraft asset management offer upside potential. Key customer dependence and seasonal risks add to concerns.
(You can read the full research report on Air T here >>>)
Shares of Preformed Line Products have underperformed the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry over the past year (-4.9% vs. +18.8%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $620.94 million is facing near-term risks, including declining sales driven by weakness in the communications market, margin compression, foreign exchange challenges and reduced cash flow. The slowdown in customer deployments, delays in stimulus funding and ongoing inventory management challenges weigh on the company’s outlook.
Nevertheless, Preformed Line Products offers a strong investment case due to its robust market position, diverse product portfolio and solid financial health. The company’s extensive range of products for energy, telecommunications and other industries, backed by strategic global manufacturing facilities, ensures a competitive edge.
PLPC’s focus on innovation and manufacturing efficiency positions it to benefit from anticipated infrastructure investments, particularly in the energy and communications sectors.
